This week on Branching out permaculture with Curtis Hanlon. Pawpaw stratification update. Here’s how I potted them up and protect them from direct sunlight and animals that might be hungry. Ep169.
Might I suggest that you place WOOD beneath the batteries? I don't know if it really makes any difference, but old timers use to say not to place batteries on cement or metal... Way too hot in the greenhouse unless you're growing tropical plants... and ventilation is the most expensive part of green house growing... Much love 💕
sounds like a good idea ill get on that this weekend. thanks for the advise. yes ventilation will cost a pretty penny im sure which is why i have my plants outside. i thought heating was going to be the hardest didnt realize i would have to find a way to cool the greenhouse in summer. cheers
Curtis, I didn't want to be negative, but hydrolicly, it doesn't compute to only fill from one place. That water has to "push" the water "up" in the other containers... Perculate on that for a second..
@@branchingoutpermaculturewi4766 oh you know I will. I degreed in electronics, but spent better part of career working on pools. At the peak, 600k gallons...
Nice enclosure for the Paw Paws, I’d think it would be better to start the sprouted seeds in 4 inch containers first. Then transfer to your larger pots when they put roots out. Good luck 🍀😊
pawpaws have really long tap roots so they could and would grow faster than it would take to transplant if that makes sense. the tap root would grow to the bottom before the plant showed its little face
Looking good, i am putting all my seed in pots at this time too. 1000ish chestnuts, 100 paw paw, 100 Mexican plum, 100 American plum. Also grafted 20 apple trees and planted 3 pecans in planters. But the squirrels got them, uhggg.
holy moly brother thats a lot of chestnuts and pawpaws. im mostly worried about the squirrels i have to cage everything until they are big enough. cheersmate ill take a look at you channel and see what your up too lately
I have not posted much in the past few months, I just not have been back to the farm lately. All my chestnuts are in cages. All of my Paw Paws are in cages. Most of my American and Mexican plums are in cages. My 3 pecans were not, and they got eaten.
